Date night in Puxi!

Shanghai is a city for foodies. There are so many good restaurants in this town! This week is also Restaurant Week, a week each year when many restaurants offer special fixed menus at reduced prices (great excuse to go try some new places), so we decided to spend Saturday night over in Puxi at Hunan House. This is a fun, cozy restaurant where the normal menu is very affordable. For our first visit, the set menu was awesome because we tried so many dishes. We started with 3 appetizers (grilled eggplant, spicy beef skewers and grilled prawns), followed by beans, cauliflower, beef stew and grilled fish, followed by spicy Hunan noodles and dumplings with a nuclear red sauce (so delicious). Dessert was steamed buns with a custard dipping sauce, along with sesame dumplings in pumpkin broth. Wow, wow, wow. The flavours were amazing and we will definitely go back. Topped off with a funky cocktail at a fun local bar, this date night was an awesome success. What a great city.
